About Norse boy names

Norse names carry the weight of Viking-era saga literature. -ulf (wolf), -bjorn (bear), and -stein (stone) recur as ending elements.

Within the Norse boy side specifically, Eric, Oliver, and Ronnie are the most-used in the U.S. record — a useful three-point sense of the register, since the rest of the list mostly varies between rarer literary, religious, and modern coinages.

This page shows 3 Norse boy names sorted by U.S. SSA totals — so the most-given names sit at the top and the rarer entries toward the bottom.
